Abstract:
A powerful English churchman believes the Welch have the Holy Grail in the New World, and in 1611 commissions a young Leftenant to find them and return the Holy Grail to England. 'Squire’ Allen rescues a pale, blond-haired Red-Indian boy, and recruits him for the grail quest. At a mysterious structure on the Ohio, Squire is struck from behind. When he comes to he is looking at a tall red-haired ‘Natural’ girl. Her companion is shape-shifting Coyote-Witch. Leahna joins the men on a trek to find her ancestors, the Mandan. Provoking Coyote's ire, along the way, she becomes Squire's wife-mate.
